Abstract
The acid catalyzed acetalization of 2,6-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzaldehy de (4) is studied under various conditions. New 2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-ben zodioxepin derivatives are prepared and a fourteen-membered tetraoxyge nated macrocycle is obtained in 81% yield without special synthetic ex pedients. The solid state molecular structure of the macrocyclic compo und is determined by single crystal X-ray analysis.
